Electronically Enhanced Appraisal

Out Of Sight! (Electronically Enhanced For Stereo)

This item is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically a compilation titled "Out Of Sight!" The album cover features a vibrant and dynamic pop art aesthetic characteristic of the mid-to-late 1960s. The central image is of a smiling woman in a striped pink or orange dress and clogs, holding a guitar-like instrument. She appears to be dancing or posing energetically. Surrounding her are the names of various artists and their songs, rendered in diverse, playful, and often exaggerated fonts and colors (black, pink, orange, purple, green). Notable artists include Lou Rawls, Vic Dana, Lou Christie, Tommy Roe, Paul Revere and The Raiders, Joe Tex, The J. Brothers, The Liberty Men, The Hi Lifes, and The Beachnuts. The overall color palette is bright, featuring oranges, yellows, greens, purples, and pinks against a white background, typical of psychedelic and pop art influences of the era. The album clearly states "Electronically Enhanced For Stereo" at the top, indicating a post-mono processing for stereo sound, which was common in that period. The record sleeve shows some visible wear, particularly along the edges and corners, with minor creasing and some discoloration or subtle yellowing due to age. There are no major tears or rips apparent on the front cover. The catalog number 'LP 514' is visible in the top right corner. The presence of multiple popular artists from the 1960s strongly suggests its age, placing it likely in the mid-to-late 1960s. The design and styling are indicative of mass-produced music compilations from that time.
